§ 66. Sir D. Robertsonasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation if he will approach the British Transport Commission with a view to taking over the railway line between Inverness, Wick and Thurso for conversion into an autobahn, which will give a faster and cheaper service for passengers, mails, newspapers and goods and relieve British Railways of heavy financial losses.
§ Mr. Boyd-CarpenterNo. This line is being operated by the British Transport Commission, and an adequate road, A.9 and A.882 already exists between these points.
